Abstract

A regional control constrained spray deposition model was established to study the flow fields and deposition of atomized droplets in a semienclosed space. The FLUENT software was used to simulate the changing rules of the pressure field, velocity field, and temperature field under different atomization gas pressures (AGPs), aiming to optimize the equipment and parameters of spray Conform. The results show that the flow fields are prone to be disturbed by the controller of the two rotating disks when the AGP is low, which makes it difficult to control the droplet deposition. Besides, excessive AGP will bring a robust reverse airflow, which is not conducive to control droplet deposition either. However, the outlet pressure of the diversion tube is about 2.5 × 104 Pa when the AGP is between 2.5 and 3.0 × 105 Pa. In this condition, the melt will exit the nozzle without blockage. Moreover, the pressure near the basement is about 5 × 104 Pa at this point, making the droplet deposition controllable.
